This is an OS and Shell combination problem. That's where you should look at, not ant.
When your terminal window (or no window) starts ant, it starts ant as 'another process in the same process group'. When your terminal window dies, some signal-I-forget gets propagated to all the processes in the 'process group'. 'nohup' is supposed to detach your ant process from your terminal window's 'process group'. Without nohup, your ant process will get the signal, and by default will kill itself. With nohup, that signal is not propagated to your ant process, which continues its course. Check the behaviour of your OS and Shell combination.
